Physical Exercise Profits a Little
W2 2010-08-31 (提前4:1 -6:21)
經文: 提摩太前書 4:16 你要謹慎自己和自己的教訓，要在這些事上恆心；因為這樣行，又能救自己，又能救聽你的人。
默想: 求主幫助我，能夠先謹慎自己的生活行為，再謹慎自己的言語教導的內容。並且要一生謹慎。如此，才不致於把福音傳給別人，自己反被上帝棄絕了。也不會因為自己的言行不一致，而絆倒上帝所託付讓我帶領的人。
題目: 根據本段經文，你對於修道院的禁慾修行有什麼看法呢？
大家平安
回覆刪除否認、禁止慾望，似乎無法真正使人"清心"，反而導致更多隱藏的犯罪、傷害更多人。不如承認、接受神造人時所賦與的需要，按著神的命令、靠著主的能力來行。
保羅顯然並不贊成「禁止嫁娶，又禁戒食物」(4:3)，而是主張「凡神所造的物都是好的，若感謝著領受，就沒有一樣可棄的」(4:4)。
“Godliness with contentment is great gain”(1Ti 6:6). Besides, our desire is insatiable. The more we have, the more we want. Therefore, to practice meditation in a spiritual awakening center is one way to free oneself from worldly temptations.
回覆刪除A monastery can serve as a resting place “to turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith”(6:20-21).
Dear All, Peng An,
回覆刪除"We are the world", it is not only a song name but also a real situation. The world is not easy to be separated with our daily living. However, we still need to be separated from the world. The difficulty is how to impact the world, but not escape the world.
